After leaving Judge Donovan's office, Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "I really thought he wouldn't issue a search warrant for you!"

My heart is almost in my throat.

Shen Lie held the hard-earned search warrant between two fingers: "Judge Donovan is right, in the investigation of this case involving Eps, we must follow the rules and every step must be strictly in accordance with the procedures. Come on, there must be no omissions. God knows, I am not fighting a lawsuit with a lawyer, but a whole team of lawyers."

"Not necessarily," Ning Yuan comforted him, "Don't think too much, maybe the murderer is just an insignificant clerk, the kind of clerk who can't even afford a defense lawyer."

Shen Lie glanced at him.

Ning Yuan himself looked at the ceiling with a guilty conscience.

The one who can be transferred to work at the headquarters will be a small employee... fart.

"I have a hunch that if we mess up this case this time, Shen will tear us apart." On the way to the Empire State Building, Casey sat in the co-pilot and looked out the window melancholy.

Dino held the steering wheel and hummed lightly.

Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, Casey shut his mouth quietly, and looked in the right-view mirror at the technical department car that came with them just in case.

It is estimated that I will be working in the RV within two months.

How pitiful.

Well worth a few tears.

"Police," Casey showed the police badge to the receptionist, and said to the bewildered receptionist, "Find out those in charge."

Three minutes after making a phone call at the front desk, a woman with a good face and a protruding back stepped on high heels and walked over, raising her chin proudly: "Officers, I am Linda, the assistant to the general manager. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Very much." Casey just glanced at her without paying more attention to her appearance, "Please count all the computers, notebooks and desktops of the staff in your office and hand them over to our technical department immediately colleague."

Linda sneered unbelievably: "Excuse me, what did you say?"

Dino took a step forward, his voice magnetic and deep: "You heard what my partner said, ma'am."

Linda's face changed: "This is impossible! Unless you—"

Dino's slender fingers took out the search warrant from his pocket and opened it in front of her: "Any more questions?"

Before Linda could answer, Kathy smiled at her. Sunny was very handsome, but waved at the poor technical department: "Search them one by one. We have a search warrant, which is legal and in compliance with regulations."

Linda walked to the side with a pale face and made a phone call.

"Dino!"

A cute Asian girl in the technical department called Dino and Casey over to a desk, and showed them the display screen, which contained chat and transaction records that were deleted and restored by her.

"Whose seat is this?" Casey asked the surrounding staff, but the staff looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Dino walked to the other side of the desk, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and adjusted the name tags on the desk for Casey to see.

Linda's phone slammed onto the marble tile with a crisp sound.

"Woman? Are you serious with me?"

Shen Lie pointed sullenly at Linda who was pacing back and forth in the interrogation room, "Are you trying to say that the person who made Louis like that was this woman who didn't even weigh a hundred catties?"

Casey is also very helpless: "The chat and transaction records are all in her computer, and I have no other way."

"Fart," Gloria sneered contemptuously, brushing her long, fiery red curly hair aside, "Even if it's a female pedophile, what can a seven-year-old child satisfy her like a toothpick?"

toothpick?

Jerry: "..."

Casey, Dino: "..."

Ning Yuan laughed out loud: "I like this character!"

Shen Lie: "..."

What do you like?

Ning Yuan, who was stared at fiercely, was innocent and confused.

"Linda neither admits that she did it, nor reveals who asked her to do it," Dino said with a headache. "It will be difficult for us to proceed to the next step."

Jerry touched the short blue stubble on his chin: "Is it normal for an assistant to listen to his boss?"

"...Whose assistant is Linda?" Shen Lie understood what Jerry said, and asked Casey with a frown.

"It's the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) of Epps in the United States, and his name is Vincent Osterley." Kathy said as he found Vincent's photo and showed it to everyone.

This man, whose power and money have reached a height that ordinary people cannot reach, is surprisingly young, at most in his early thirties, and is completely different from the usual elite men.Black hair and black eyes, deep eyebrows, and a slightly uninhibited expression, not like the kind of person sitting in an office and facing financial statements, but more like a star.

Shen Lie was silent for a while, thinking.

At this point in the investigation, it is absolutely impossible for Linda to be the murderer, but the mastermind behind the scenes is very likely to be her immediate superior, that is, this Vincent.But the problem now is that if there is no substantive evidence to support Vincent's death, it is meaningless to hold a trial in front of the other party's powerful legal team.

The four police officers of the homicide team looked at each other, they all understood the pressure Shen Lie was facing, and no one urged him.

Ning Yuan also looked at Shen Lie, how the case will proceed depends on how this young man chooses in the face of this situation.But Ning Yuan believes that Shen Lie is not the kind of person who would succumb to pressure and authority.

After a long while, Shen Lie said again: "Please invite Vincent to come to the police station for tea, remember, please." He glanced at the police officers, "Don't treat him like a criminal until you find the exact evidence or Linda confesses. Treat him the same, and don't let him know that we have suspected him."

Seeing that the police officers nodded, he said again: "Control your emotions and attitudes, if you don't want to blow up this case, don't let them take precautions too early—"

Before Shen Lie could finish speaking, a steady voice interrupted him; "Who is in charge here?"

The police officers gathered outside the interrogation room and Shen Lie Ningyuan looked towards the door. A middle-aged man was standing at the door. It was the one who spoke just now, and the handsome smiling man next to him looked very familiar.

Dino frowned and immediately let go, straightened his unwrinkled suit, and walked forward with a slight polite smile: "Dino Esposito (Exposito), serious homicide Team vice-captain, our captain is on vacation. May I ask who you are...?"

"I'm a lawyer, and this is my client, Vincent Osterley," the middle-aged man said. "We heard that the police had arrested my client's assistant, so we took the initiative to cooperate with the police."

Vincent stretched out his hand: "Hello."

"The police are very grateful for your assistance." Dino smiled, and the gratitude in his brown eyes was very sincere. "I believe that with the help of Mr. Osterley, we will definitely bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible."

Vincent held out his hand to shake Dino's hand: "Just call me Vincent."

Ning Yuan sighed, "This kind of acting talent."

Seeing that no one was paying attention here, Shen Lie lowered his voice: "Do you know why Dino is the last person the Manhattan Police Department can't mess with?"

Ning Yuan looked at him blankly and shook his head.

Shen Lie raised the corners of his lips.

A dog that really bites never barks.However, people who are usually gentle and low-key and humble are often the ones who can't afford to provoke.
